Just The Way We Are
Watch your back, Cinderella I hate spiders. If all the Disney Princesses tried to take out Wonder Woman in a fight, I’d put money on Wonder Woman. Hands down. Real shredded coconut “tastes” like paper to me. Shut. Up. When I am out in public here in Maine and make eye contact with another [...]
by Kait Moon I breastfeed. Not only do I breastfeed, I breastfeed twins. In total, over the course of the last 7+ years as a mother I’ve been breastfeeding for over 50 months (and no, I’m not counting the twins separately.) For those (like me) with bad math skills, that is over four years. I’m [...]
I’ve been trying to write about just about anything else but the myth of Persephone and how she is haunting and nagging me this week. Full disclosure–I’m taking this great course in female archetypes. We’re in our second week and Persephone/Kore is the goddess manifestation we are thinking about this week. If you aren’t familiar with [...]
I’m getting divorced. I just got dumped. I went from being a wife to a girlfriend in a very short period of time. Every self-help book is rolling its tear-stained eyes at me- I told you so. Rebound. Rebound. I suppose, technically, it was a rebound- but it was with someone I’ve known for twenty [...]
If I asked you what you are thankful for right now…what would you say? Would you say you are thankful for your health? Your family and friends? Your job or the view from your bedroom window? All of those and more, I would imagine. We’re grateful for our kids and for our family pets and [...]
Today is International Transgender Day of Remembrance. Why? Did you know that the bulk of the violence towards the LGBTQ community is directed at transgender women? Whether it’s school ground bullying from students and teachers, Republican House of Representative members, employers, the violence perpetrated against this community must end. I’ve invited Helena Anya Zeitgeist who has [...]
We did it. You did it. I really don’t give a damn how cheesy I sound because I am thrilled to announce that This is My Brave just ended a successful kickstarter campaign to produce a live performance of the same title. The focus is ending the stigma of mental illness and that, my [...]
Can I call your sister stupid? No? Does that bother you? I’m not sure why, seeing as how you don’t even like your her. You tell anyone who will listen and rarely go home for holidays. What? What was that? Oh, so you think your sister is stupid? So what’s the problem? Why is [...]
Let’s talk about Being Brave. Not with a sword, but with our voices. Maybe we use a pen. Maybe we click, clack away on a keyboard, looking up only every now and then at the words born onto the white screen before us. Maybe we are Brave with our voices or a maybe [...]
The idea for this post has been germinating for a few weeks. It’s been a season of relentless fat shaming—from the Halloween letter in place of Halloween candy that turned out to be a hoax but not before Internet commenters everywhere voiced their two cents on fat America’s candy consumption to Lululemon founder and the fact that [...]
